The company
arkco.ai forecasts solar and wind generation, grid load and power prices at 15-minute intervals, then uses the forecasts to schedule dispatch, run battery storage and trade electricity in Indian power markets such as the Day-Ahead and Real-Time Markets. The platform also handles automated bidding and virtual power plant orchestration.
Renewable producers in India pay deviation settlement penalties when their output differs from what they scheduled. Better forecasts cut those penalties, and the same forecasts can be used to earn more from trading and storage.
arkco.ai is based in Mumbai and was founded in 2026 by Sidharth Charkha and Timothy Edwards. A pilot with wind assets in India reported lower deviation penalties and better forecast accuracy.
Sidharth Charkha previously worked at Mahindra Susten, HCT Sun and Metro Power.
